Breathe In, Breathe Out [Honey/Radioactive]

As the moon's glow left the beast's features, the red gaze of the massive creature seemed to quickly dull as it's surroundings soon became dizzingly slowed and swaying, the wolf seeing double of the man, hardly hearing his words, as the beast rapidly began to shrink, losing many of it's primal feature, as soon a woman with long golden locks covering her nude body would then shrivel to the floor, her body still for a few moments, until with a sharp gasp did she suddenly awaken, claws digging into the earth as she panted and heaved, her red gaze slowly looking at the man.

..W-who is that?!

She flipped onto her back, hair stuck up to a fine point much like her previous form's bristling, a long fluffy golden tail also seeming rather nettled as a billion thoughts were going through her mind, such as if she had attacked this man while unaware, why did he appear so calm, why was the sky so dark, so on and so on.

However, one thing quickly caught her attention as her tongue grazed her teeth, causing her moment of horror to cease for her to lick at her teeth, her wolven ears sharply folding as she froze, realizing her teeth had been damaged. Her teeth? Of all things to be damaged, how... Were her teeth damaged? They were perhaps one of the hardest to break things in her body, so... How..?

Her red gaze stuck on this man, realization to a degree dawning upon her as she thought,

Did... This man... Do this..?

She would soon relax, her previously spiked hair and tail relaxing back into their rather soft looking form, as suddenly she would grunt loudly, turning her head, and spit out quite a few broken teeth, root and all, her head turning, mouth revealing to suddenly have all of her teeth perfectly intact, though a few of them looked newer than others as she rubbed her mouth, and soon her belly, stumbling to her feet as her tail dragged upon the forest floor. Strangely, the woman did not speak a word, but rather, she bowed.

She felt respect should be given to such a man, and respect was what she would indeed give.

Honey's ears drooped a tiny bit as the man had commented on her size. She kept forgetting how large she truly was, and having such a thing pointed out led to the nervous pup to reduce in size, her eyes diverted as she shrank a good foot or two shorter than the male, even her features looked far more youthful, as if she miraculously de-aged.

Asked for her name did the second wave of embarassment wash the young one's face. She wasn't tongue tied or confused, rather, she had quite the issue translating her tongue into proper human speech, the wolf-like woman puffing her cheeks, standing tense as her fluffy tail was stuck upright, as she released a sigh, focused on her words, and carefully tried to get her name out, though the name she introduced herself with in itself held it's baggage,

"Ho... Nah-.. No.. Ho.. Neey.. Mo.. Morr-"

Suddenly a sharp bark would leave her jaws, causing her to bring her hands to slap and cover her mouth, groaning as she faced away, waving a hand in apology, and suddenly ran off - However she wasn't gone long, soon returning with her clothing and Zanpakuto.

She pulled out a notepad, tiredly flipping to a page, and then turned it for the man to see, in which it would clearly read,

"Honey Morimoto."

She would then point a clawed finger to the statement below it, tail swishing about,

"What is your name?"

Slipping her poncho on, which draped down to her knees in this small form, did she pull out a pen, having lied her pants and Zanpakuto gently to the side as she soon flipped to a clean page. Her gaze was shy and cautious, sharpened fingernails tightly grasping the notepad and pen as she scribbled away inside, the scratch and scuff of the writing instrument ringing clear as she just.. Wasn't sure how to go with this man's expectation. She didn't have much of a story, and thus she wrote and presented to him,

"Sorry, it isn't much of a story - I just go someplace really far out of the way with large animals roaming so I don't hurt anyone when I transform. I have to do this ever so often or I could get... Aggressive, at a bad time. Full moon brings the ugly out in me."

Honey's face was deeply embarrassed, pressed into another outstretched palm as to hide her face, a gentle whine in her throat, as she would then bring the notepad back to her, adding another thing to the bottom,

"I'm sorry if I caused you trouble - I am a stupid beast after all.."

A gentle, nervous, yet apologetic smile was on her features, as her head was turned down, eyes hardly meeting him as a sigh left her lips.

Honey's long, fluffy tail gently beat against the ground to express mild excitement - She kind of liked the attention, someone was speaking to her at eye level, for once... Anyone she was familiar with at the Gotei only ever spoke to her like a dumb puppy, and such patronizing speech and light bullying did not make her feel too good in her day to day, so she just fazed out interacting with others ever so often to put in more training time. Weirdly enough, putting her own body through the abuse of exercise was a lot more comforting than hearing the mocking of her fellow shinigami, or even the odd person in the Rukongai on the way home.

She reared back, eyes wide, tail bristled just a teeny bit when the man suddenly came close, touching her chin in his hand as she was practically frozen, her body shaking until he merely flicked her on the head - Something so innocent and practically painless that it only made her feel sillier to freeze up like that. She sighed, head dipped forward, tail lax and spilling upon the ground, as she only perked up to listen to his question, which only ran another hot wave of embarrassment on her face. She immediately went to writing, as that instinctive desire to please those above her was stronger than her embarrassment, a minute or so passing until she would once again present her notepad,

"I don't want you to hear my ugly barking."

"I'm half demon, but I guess that's enough for the kind of demon's stupid bad habit to leak over.. Uncle told me they don't start out able to talk and have to learn over a long period how to speak human tongue. He tried to teach me, but got fed up with my slowness and just stopped."

"I just decided writing was better than running the risk of embarrassing myself like that."

Her eyes looked mildly sad, sighing softly as she let him read off at whatever pace he had.

Honey looked visibly uncomfortable with the idea of just talking anyway. From her youth she had it instilled in her how stupid her noises made her sound, so embracing it? Embracing that what lead her to be mocked and punished constantly? It sounded out of the question entirely to Honey, as it just served as a constant reminder of the distance between her and others was, that she would be nothing but a filthy dog to everyone.

But, despite her feelings, she would not defy a request from him, going on to show him exactly what she meant:

"Mrry Rrrame Iuuurs Honrrey.. Aaar..-!"

What sounded barely like words soon melted down into an assortment of canid noises - Huffs, barks, pants, and whines, all that would come out of her mouth was barely understandable, beastly noises, as Honey herself seemed to get gradually more and more distressed as she went on, not long after would tears form and begin streaming down her face as her tail was partially stuck up stiff, body tense as her face was reddened with embarrassment and humiliation. Memories burned on her flesh and heart as she just went on and on with what she felt like was a disgraceful act, her noises sounding gradually more and more strained and sad as she wasn't going to stop until Radioactive told her to.
